I have chosen to write about question one for this week’s discussion. There was a multitude of changes in the 20th century. Personally, it is hard to say if revolutionary changes or evolutionary changes would have the longest lasting effect. However, I do believe both had a significant effect. During the global depression many people were affected. To me it seems that the depression had a tremendous effect on the arts and music. Having a limited amount of money seemed to bring out emotions people had not experienced or felt before as did the World Wars. People seemed to use music and art as an outlet to express themselves in new ways. Many changes happened quickly others happened slowly. It was like a polyrhythm, they were independent, but
The reform impulse of 1800-1860 made it possible for mankind to be essentially good and capable of positive change. The political quarry of the past transformed the ways people thought of themselves and about society as a whole. Religious and social factors contributed to this change because of their old and dissatisfying ways. Activists began to dedicate their lives to the cause of reform, and to promote morality and social discipline. People began to lean toward the idea that everyone in society could reach perfection and salvation. Perhaps, this gave people hope for a better future because it differed from the previous idea in which salvation was limited to only a few. These new religious views were linked to reform because it was a change in hopes of improving society, this religious change focused upon the family, and it began to liberate the lives and freedom of women, even if these abolitionists did view the government in dreadful ways.
The 21st century is much like the 1920s in regard to how society acts. In both the 21st century and the 1920s, people aspire to live rich, luxurious lives, disregard the poor, and ignore the laws. In many songs today, artists sing about getting intoxicated, spending money and other forms of immorality. These songs show how inappropriate actions are done because of living lavishly. The morals in this time period are similar to the 1920s in the sense that people act redundantly and disregard the effects of their actions.
This paper compares and contrasts three social movements of the later mid-twentieth century. The movements are:
In the 19th century, a considerable number of reforms took place in America which helped in its shaping because, in order to develop the country, the Americans wanted changes. Some of these changes concerned the abolition of slavery, the opening of public schools and improving the terrible conditions in American prisons, all for the purpose of creating a better country and better living. The crucial reform was the abolition of slavery, which had the most impact on the American society, and was definitely the most important reform in the 19th century. Slavery, which was one of the biggest issues, which caused a lot of havoc, had to end.
The world we know today is constantly changing. In just 90 years a lot of things have changed drastically. 90 years ago the invention of the car was still pretty new but now it's become apart of everyday technology, along with our phones everything has changed. There are some things that have stayed the same. A couple things that have stayed the same over all that time is women's role in society and something that had just started then but still works just the same are movies. They are a lot more ways that you could compare the 1920’s to Today but I'm going to talk about these two, so let's get into it.
Hello Stephene Luc. Nice to see that someone wrote about another topic beside the one that I did. Interesting words, the ones you used to describe the term "revolutionary" in a political way. Also, I liked the elements used to compare both Declarations. Moreover, the last fact that you used at the end, I did not know it, because I am a foreign and do not know that much about this topic. Keep the hard work.
During the 19th Century there were many reform movements that took place. Reform movements were movements that were organized to reform or change the certain way of things. Reform movements did not always work but the ones that did greatly changed the way our nation operates today. There were three major reform movements that have altered the nation; the abolitionist movement, the temperance movement and the women 's suffrage movement. Without these movements, and the great leaders involved, many common rights would not exist today.
How life changed in the 1750s to 1900s There were many important changes in people’s lives. Some of the important changes were things like houses to things like public health. Many improvement and events happened which effected our life today.
Many great innovations that benefited people came to earth in the 19th and 20th century. These new creations vastly improved people’s way of lives by making things easier and faster to do while some provide news and knowledge in a flash. The amazing ideas were formulated by brilliant inventors so that they could address the current needs to prevent time consuming tasks and at the same time deliver good results. Through these notable wonders which we often use were the computer, television, radio and telephone people were able to live fully and efficiently. We tackled about the most useful things and how did they become our everyday need and without these said
The Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th century transformed rural to urban life and gave people higher expectations for improving their standard of working and living conditions. The increased number of jobs, along with technological innovations in transportation and housing construction, encouraged migration to cities. Development of railroads, streetcars, and trolleys in the 19th century enabled city boundaries to expand. People no longer had to live within walking distance of their jobs. All of the expansion of businesses, cities, and population led to absolutely no sanitation because multiple families lived in a tenant -a low costing apartment building designed to house many families- and they lived without a proper waste disposal. This caused the spreading of germs and that resulted in the death of millions. Workers believed if they argued and protested, they would have to be granted better living and working conditions, so they formed unions. By the turn of the 20th century, labor unions destroyed the free market by restricting businesses with rules that crucially penalized the wealthy for being successful. The labor unions’ desire to maintain these rights were campaigned through arguments, protests, and riots resulting in an enforcement of regulations such as an increase in pay, a decrease in working hours, and an improvement in working conditions.
Western civilizations took on many changes during the so called “long” 19th century (1789-1914). These changes were all thought out to be for the better. Some turned out productive and some did not, but even the mistakes led to progress. Sometimes you have to take two steps back to take three steps forward. Continuous progress only exists through setbacks because you have to know what is not right or not working in order to fix something. During this time of progressivism (political direction in favor of progress for a better future), breakthroughs in understanding of freedom, economic productivity, government roles, gender positions, entertainment, communication, and science and technology to improve standard of living altered
What were the most revolutionary social and economic developments of the last quarter of the nineteenth century?
As the ancient Chinese proverb wisely observed, Change is infinite. Although sometimes we tend to think that there are limits on our ability to change our views or our behavior, humans are indeed very flexible and versatile. As we undergo new experiences and learn from our mistakes and flaws, our perception naturally adjusts. Quite frankly, our ability to change is unlimited. In fact, numerous literary and historical examples attest to our unlimited ability to change our views.

Change is something that a group of people will always try to achieve. Common themes involved with change are cultural, societal, industrial, economic, political so on and so forth. These are the themes or topics people usually try to reform or make a difference in somehow. Movements to affect these aspects of life may be started by a group of indigenous people, innovative people or upper class people and are usually started to better lives. The 19th century held many movements and revolutions trying to affect these kinds of themes in society. Movements such as the Industrial Revolution, Mexican Revolution and Nazism brought about change but didn’t diminish differences in people nor brought about social justice.
